Several geophysical techniques have been specialized for applications to exploration for ground water in an insular basaltic environment. This article describes a multidisciplinary application of several such techniques to the Kona Coast of Hawaii in Hawaii. Aerial infrared scanning and low‐level aeromagnetic surveys were the major reconnaissance techniques. For detailed study, modified audiomagnetotelluric and D. C. resistivity profiling methods were used. The improved knowledge of subsurface structure confirmed the expectation that no large flows, such as suitable for commercial exploration, occur in that coastal sector.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
